Apple Computer Inc. announced a new line of dual-processor 64-bit Mac computers. According to Apple, some software applications can run much faster on these systems than a system with Intel's Pentium 4 3.4 Ghz chip.

As always, the company has released three models to suit the majority of buyers. These three models include - 1.8 GHz dual-processor system, 2.0 GHz dual-processor system, and 2.5 GHz dual-processor system.
The prices for these models are - 1.8 GHz - $1,999, 2.0 GHz - $2,499, and 2.5 GHz - $2,999.
